All rights reserved iv ABSTRACT The concept of strategic alternatives has received a lot of attention from scholars for a very long time now. Despite numerous studies in this area, interest has not faded away. To this end, the objectives of this study were to identify the determinants of strategic alternatives to better understand what drives airlines into such alliances and to identify factors that affect the performance of the alliances. The research was done through descriptive survey design, which involved all airlines with scheduled flights in and out of Kenya totaling thirty six (42). The target population was CEOs or senior managers within the airlines, which had response rate of 92.7%. -

The demand for air passenger services remained strong in 2018 with a 6.9% year Ton year growth. Those good results were supported by the good global economic environment particularly in the first half of the year. Unlike passenger traffic, air freight demand recorded a very weak performance in 2018 compared to 2017. -

Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Klaus Berberich for giving me an oppor- tunity to work under his guidance. This work is made possible with his unconditional support, expert scientific advice, and futuristic vision. However, the encouraging aspect of working under him was the exceptional freedom he granted to pursue challenging problems from various fields of information science (retrieval, summarization, and spatiotemporal text mining). In addition, our common interest in music that often triggered very interesting conversations made work even more enjoyable. I am extremely thankful to Gerhard Weikum for supporting me throughout my Master’sand Ph.D studies. His high standards of conducting research constantly inspired and trained me to become a better researcher. I also thank the additional reviewers and examiners, Dietrich Klakow and Claudia Hauff for providing valuable feedback for further improvements of this work. I acknowledge that this work would have not been possible without the influence, teachings, and guidance of several people. -

In response to these aviation locating aircraft in distress and recovering flight recorders. First, oceanic accidents, government accident surveillance is limited, and an aircraft’s position may not be precisely known. For example, MH370 continued to fly for several hours outside of radar coverage investigators, international after onboard communications equipment were no longer working, according to organizations, and industry have investigators. Additionally, communication and coordination between air traffic offered proposals that aim to enhance control centers in oceanic regions pose challenges. Finally, these accidents show oceanic flight tracking and flight data that investigators may have difficulty locating and recovering flight recorders, recovery on a global scale. Given the which are used to determine accident causes, because of the ocean’s depth and implications for the U.S. commercial terrain. For instance, locating AF447’s flight recorders took 2 years at a cost of fleet, it is essential that the Congress approximately $40 million. -
From the Airbus to the Spaceplane: the Future of Commercial Aviation
From the Airbus to the Spaceplane: The Future of Commercial Aviation By William John Cox Theme: Global Economy, Science and Global Research, June 12, 2009 Medicine 12 June 2009 As commercial aviation becomes increasingly dependent upon computerized digital technology and less reliant upon hands-on human control, we have to consider the crash of Air France Flight 447 into the Atlantic Ocean, with the loss of all aboard, and other similar disasters in the light of our collective experience and expectations. The Comet First flown in 1949 and introduced into passenger service in1951, the Comet was the first pressurized, jet-propelled commercial aircraft. Powered by four “Ghost” turbojet engines, the Comet was found to be fuel efficient above 30,000 feet and flew at almost 500 miles per hour, far faster than the most advanced piston-powered airplanes in service at the time. England’s de Havilland Company rapidly gained a significant advantage in the commercial aircraft market, carrying more than 30,000 passengers and receiving orders for 30 Comets in the first year; however, serious problems with the innovative design quickly developed. Two crashes in the first year in Italy and Pakistan were likely caused by a defective wing profile design that resulted in a loss of lift during steep takeoffs. A series of catastrophic crashes followed. In 1953, structural failure of the airframe beginning with the stabilizer caused a Comet to crash shortly after takeoff in India. The Comet was equipped with fully powered flight controls that were criticized because they resulted in a loss of “feel” and may have caused excessive stress on the flight control surfaces. -
